Chapter 403: The First Actual Battle of the March God-Killing Palm

When he saw Rodman punch, the corners of Chu Nan’s mouth curled into a smile.

“The moves are quite exquisite, and his Internal Breath is very strong. Moreover, it has fused with the moves very well. However… he did not mobilize spatial energy.”

Chu Nan gave an evaluation in his mind. He took a step forward and slapped out. His Internal Breath was naturally activated and the spatial energy in the surrounding space gathered.

It was the modified first move of the March God-Killing Palm.

Bang!

This palm struck Rodman’s fist squarely, but it collided with his fist.

On the surface, Rodman was tall and strong. Just his fist was almost the size of Chu Nan’s head. The aura of this punch was shocking and the force was extremely huge, but Chu Nan’s palm was so light that there was not much force behind it.

However, this collision caused Rodman’s body to tremble. He directly spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered a few steps back. Clearly, he had already suffered internal injuries.

Be it the students of Star Cloud Academy or the students of Sharam Academy who were watching the battle, they were in an uproar.

Before the battle, not many people thought that Chu Nan could win.

Even the students of Star Cloud Academy who were confident in Chu Nan would at most think that he was on par with a fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like Rodman. At most, he would have the upper hand.

However, he did not expect that Chu Nan would heavily injure Rodman in the first exchange!

Rodman finally stabilized himself and raised his head to look at Chu Nan in surprise.

Although he had lost to Chu Nan in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition more than half a year ago, he did not think that his strength was insufficient. Instead, he felt that the main reason was that he had underestimated his opponent. Secondly, Chu Nan’s attainments in external martial techniques were very profound, causing him to not be at a disadvantage in terms of moves and lose the most miserably.

In the past half a year, he had been fortunate enough to receive guidance from a master. Not only had his Internal Breath greatly increased, but he had also become much more proficient in external martial techniques. He originally thought that if he fought Chu Nan again, he could rely on external martial techniques to win. However, he did not expect that Chu Nan would fight him head-on in the first move.

What surprised him even more was that in such a head-on collision, Chu Nan had actually slapped himself until he had internal injuries!

How was this possible?

“Chu Nan, you… could it be that you’ve cultivated a new Internal Breath cultivation method?” Rodman could not help but ask.

From Chu Nan’s palm earlier, he felt that it seemed to contain a special force that his powerful Internal Breath could not block, causing him to be forced back.

This force was different from the Internal Breath he had felt when he fought Chu Nan previously. Therefore, he felt that Chu Nan must have had a fortuitous encounter and grasped a new special cultivation method like him in the past half a year.

Hearing this question, Chu Nan confirmed again that although Rodman’s Internal Breath had already reached the strength of a fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist, he should not have comprehended spatial energy. At most, he could be considered an ordinary martial artist who had just entered the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm.

“This is not a special Internal Breath cultivation method. You’ll know when you ask Teacher Ronca later. I won’t explain it to you here.”

Chu Nan waved his hand and interrupted the conversation before slapping out again.

This palm was the same as before. It was the March God-Killing Palm that he had successfully modified yesterday.

Although there was no problem in practicing this palm technique himself after it was modified, he had not experienced actual combat and did not know the power.

Now that there was an opportunity to test it without personally fighting, it was a good opportunity to try.

He slapped out and felt a familiar Internal Breath surge and the same familiar spatial energy gather. Chu Nan’s heart suddenly stirred and he felt a trace of doubt.

He was now in the virtual space constructed by Martial Soul. Here, he could perfectly simulate human data, movements, and even the circulation of the Internal Breath. How could he simulate the circulation of spatial energy?

If the technology of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce could do this, did that not mean that their research on spatial energy had also reached an extremely profound level?

If that was the case, why did they still cooperate with a martial artist like him to collect data?

“Ha!”

A shout interrupted Chu Nan’s thoughts and woke him up from his daze.

Looking over, Rodman had already thrown a punch.

“Alright!”

Chu Nan shouted in a low voice and his powerful data ability instantly determined the trajectory of Rodman’s punch. He flipped his palm and changed the second move of the March God-Killing Palm to the sixth move, accurately blocking his punch.

Boom!

Although he was a little distracted, Chu Nan’s palm still displayed the characteristics of the March God-Killing Palm. He fully mobilized the spatial energy. The momentum of his palm looked light, but the force was still shocking. Not only could he easily block Rodman’s attack, but with the surge of spatial energy, he also forced the opponent back again.

This time, Rodman did not ask anymore. After taking a few steps back, he attacked again without a word.

Facing Rodman’s ferocious attacks, Chu Nan struck out palm after palm. Every palm fully displayed the powerful might of his modified March God-Killing Palm. It perfectly fused with his Internal Breath and spatial energy. Not only did he completely suppress Rodman in terms of external martial techniques, but he also nearly crushed him in terms of the force of his Internal Breath.

After dozens of rounds of battle, Rodman was sent flying by Chu Nan’s palm again. He barely landed on the ground and stabilized himself, but he did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood on the spot and frowned as he looked at Chu Nan in defeat.

“I thought that my increase in strength in the past half a year had already surpassed most people and could completely wipe away the humiliation of being defeated by you. I didn’t expect that your increase would be greater than mine. I have to admit that Chu Nan, you’re really a genius.”

Chu Nan could not help but laugh, “What? Do you still think it’s a humiliation to be defeated by me?”

Rodman snorted softly, “Of course. At that time, I was a second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, and you were only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. How could it not be shameful for me to be defeated by you?”

“Then, if I calculate according to the strength of my Internal Breath, I’m not even at the third-stage Internal Breath Realm. Isn’t it a humiliation for a fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like you to be unable to defeat me?” Chu Nan asked in amusement.

“This is different.” Rodman shook his head, “We’re all Internal Breath Martial Artists. There’s only a difference in the strength of our Internal Breath, but you’re clearly much stronger than me in other aspects. It’s normal for me to be unable to defeat you. In addition… Chu Nan, could it be that you’ve already comprehended spatial energy?”

Chu Nan was slightly stunned before he smiled and nodded.

“It seems that you’re not as stupid as you look.”

Rodman was furious, “How do I look stupid?” Then, he reacted and said in surprise, “You actually comprehended spatial energy? How is this possible?! How long have you been an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist?”

Chu Nan spread out his hands and smiled annoyingly.

“It can’t be helped. This is talent.”

Rodman could only be speechless.

After a while, he nodded and said, “Alright, you’re indeed talented and I’m inferior to you. However, Chu Nan, this doesn’t mean that I’ll always be inferior to you. Even if you comprehend spatial energy now, your Internal Breath is insufficient and your body is unstable. It’s impossible for you to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in a short period of time. It’s even very likely that you won’t be able to break through in the future. As for me, I can break through at any time. Perhaps I’ll already be a Void Break Martial Artist at any time, but you’ll still be stuck at the Internal Breath Realm.”

“Thank you for your concern.” Chu Nan smiled indifferently, “However, say this after you become a Void Break Martial Artist.”

“I hope that the judgment of the two Star-Grade Martial Artists is wrong. If a martial artist with such talent can’t even break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, it’s really a pity,” Rodman said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely break through.”

“Yes.”

Rodman nodded at Chu Nan again and chose to admit defeat and leave the arena.

Chu Nan immediately left.
